Doesn't work 😒 It must be the keyboard standard that isn't compatible with my AT style keyboard isn't it ?

Okay so I tried a trident video card ... and the PC is in fact counting the RAM ! I didn't knew it worked like that in 8088s But the next problem is : my DIN keyboard isn't detected (the BIOS says "keyboard error") and so I can't do anything ... This motherboard is in the AT form factor. But it …
Need help for my newly acquired 8088
Posted on 2016-11-11, 18:43
Hi, I've just bought an 8088. It comes with a 5"1/4 floppy drive and a western digital hdd (with many many more things and other PCs that I'll probably show you later in the right topic) for 50€ in total. However as you may have guessed, it doesn't POST (at least it doesn't seem to since I don't …
Re: About Voodoo2 SLI - Placing and System Requirements?
Posted on 2016-11-09, 11:19
My pentium 2 has two voodoo 2 and I've put in between them the network card and it works without any issue. However I don't think that you'll be able to play unreal at 800*600 resolution at nice speed (it will be playable thouh, but not something pleasant) on a pentium. Unreal runs at 1024*768 …

I don't think the raspberry pi is fast enough to emulate what you want to have. It's already struggling with DOSbox

Re: Pentium with no L2.
Posted on 2016-11-05, 10:07
I've got an IBM with a pentium 100 that have no cache (there are sockets to add it though, but I tried and I did not managed to make it work, the system acts oddly, crashes or doesn't POST and make beeps to indicate a RAM issue. The chips I'm using are 15ns chips) and I can still play early 3D games …
Re: Generic Pentium II Driver Help
Posted on 2016-11-03, 08:04
A Pentium II with 370 and Slot 1 in an AT form factor? What in gods name... that is the oddest thing I've seen this week. First step is going to be to identify the chipset either through the bios or otherwise. I find a temporary install of Windows 2000 or XP just so you can get info from device …
Re: Carmageddon doesn't work when my SLI is activated

I wonder how far metabyte made their card "SLI-able". Is it only into drivers or did they made something special with the card's bios for that. I will check that out
Re: How to repair a previously bent motherboard ?
Posted on 2016-11-01, 18:00
Well, I did turn it on ... I know that it's not like ATX psus for example where there is still a little bit of current going through the motherboard even when the board isn't turned on. However a clock generator shouldn't be the most complicated thing to replace ... but only if it's worth it since …
Re: Carmageddon doesn't work when my SLI is activated
Posted on 2016-11-01, 17:28
Still doesn't work. I tried either with voodoo2C.exe and carmav.exe just to make sure. The only thing that I didn't mention is that I'm using the Fastvoodoo 4.6 drivers and that my SLI is mismatched (one creative and one metabyte wicked 3D. However, the wicked3D was MADE to make mismatched SLIs in …

I did not copy any glide file in there. And carmav.exe actually came with my game (and don't work with my voodoo 2)
Re: How to repair a previously bent motherboard ?
Posted on 2016-11-01, 16:38
Oh I've another problem yet ... The frequency generator seems to be completely broken ... Whatever I set, clock just sets itself to whatever it wants (stuff like 90MHz, 110MHz, 133MHz, 150MHz, 166MHz, even though I set 200MHz, 75MHz, or whatever, it's completely crazy). Here too, when I apply …
Re: Carmageddon doesn't work when my SLI is activated
Posted on 2016-11-01, 16:02
But this patch IS the latest 3Dfx patch. There is a patch for voodoo 1 that was sometime shipped with the game, and another one made for voodoo 2 right ? Or is there a third one ?

Oh I forgot to mention that before I removed it from it's original tray, it was working without any problems. Oddly, it seems that the more I use it, the less it crashes Here are photos of the board IMG_20161101_142738.jpg IMG_20161101_142819.jpg As you can see, it's not bent anymore, but on the …
How to repair a previously bent motherboard ?
Posted on 2016-11-01, 12:02
I bought a few month ago a "PCI-P54C-TR4" motherboard which seems to be a neat motherboard (HX chipset, etc). However due to bad computer builder (I had it with it's AT tray), it was bent for years. I wanted to use it, but it started to crash randomly (sometimes it didn't POST). Now that I have a …

What I did is renaming dos32a as dos4gw. What should I do instead ?
Re: Carmageddon doesn't work when my SLI is activated
Posted on 2016-10-31, 22:01
Okay so I tried both solutions : DOS32a displays the exact same error and the game doesn't start at all The UK version doesn't make any difference too, same problem (the game starts up, but in software mode instead of 3Dfx mode and when I quit the game it displays that error message). In my opinion, …
